STM workflow
Stages
1 |
As required, change the STM default settings to meet your operational requirements when creating or running OAM diagnostics tests with the STM.
|
2 |
As required, review the appropriate workflow for the OAM diagnostic test you need to run with the STM to determine if any prerequisite steps are required.
|
3 |
Create the individual OAM diagnostic tests to be run as a discrete test or to be used in an STM test policy or STM test suite. See Table 90-1, NFM-P supported OAM diagnostic tests and configurations for a list of all NFM-P supported OAM diagnostic tests that can be configured using the STM and their applicable procedures. |
4 |
Create or modify an STM test policy to specify which OAM test definitions are to be included in the STM test suite; see To configure an STM test policy. |
5 |
As required, configure threshold-crossing alarms or NM threshold-crossing alarms as a post-STM OAM diagnostic test or STM test policy creation exercise; see To configure threshold-crossing alarms or NM threshold-crossing alarms for an OAM diagnostic test or STM test policy. |
6 |
Create or modify an STM test suite; see To create an STM test suite or To modify an STM test suite and view additional information. |
7 |
As required, configure test limits before running the OAM diagnostic test or test suite to view additional test configuration information after performing the test; see To configure OAM diagnostic test limits on the STM and view additional test configuration information. |
8 |
Run individual or multiple OAM diagnostic tests from the STM and immediately view the test results; see To run one or more OAM diagnostic tests from the STM and view the test results. |
9 |
As required, view and compare OAM diagnostic test results on the STM as a post-analysis exercise; see To view and compare OAM diagnostic test results on the STM. |
10 | As required, schedule the execution of an STM test suite as a one-time event or as an ongoing task.
|
11 |
Run an STM test suite from the STM; see To execute an STM test suite. Alternatively, perform To immediately execute an NFM-P-based scheduled task to immediately execute the STM test suite from the Scheduled Task form. |
12 |
Monitor the diagnostic results from the scheduled test suite and the alarm list for indications of network or service faults and threshold-crossing alarms.
|
13 |
Interpret OAM diagnostic test results on the STM; see To interpret OAM diagnostic test results on the STM. |
14 |
As required, edit or delete an OAM diagnostic test or test suite; see To edit an OAM diagnostic test, To delete an OAM diagnostic test, and To delete an STM test suite. |
